Description
The original and still in many opinions the best dark-leaved Dahlia, which created the trend for current breeding programs. The mahogany purple, fern like foliage of ‘Bishop of Llandaff’ is the perfect contrast against the stunningly bright electric red flowers, that blaze away in high Summer and well into the Autumn frosts. A stunning and much-loved perennial for height and wow factor! Fully deserving its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure that this is a proven garden performer, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience. You can therefore plant this in the garden with confidence, for stunning displays for many years to come. It is also recommended by the RHS as a ‘Plant for Pollinators’ the flowers are produced through the spring and summer and are a favourite with butterflies and bees. So easy to grow, as they are supplied as tubers, packed full of energy to burst into growth in Spring and produce a mass of bright colours which will pepper your garden like gemstones as Summer turns to Autumn. Dahlias are perfect for planting in your bed, borders, patio pots and containers. They also make fabulous cut flowers so pick a bunch of these pastel beauties to bring into your home for amazing colour. Dahlias will need some winter protection if you want them to return next year, we recommend that you dig them up before the first frost arrives and keep them stored over the winter.
